I have a new Gargoyle to introduce you to...I've named him
Leroy...and he was given to me by my friend, Melissa of
Pugnotes to help watch over my new studio. Thanks Melissa! He sits atop the beautiful (
Studio) architectural element that hangs outside...made by the former Owner and Artist of the studio,
Nettie Penman. You can see in the photo of Nettie (bottom left) that she is working on another creation, a water fountain...which she so graciously left in our shade garden. She is an amazing Artist.
"Leroy", bringer of good studio juju The stunning painting below was given to me by another wonderful friend,
Shari Beaubien. Shari and I did a trade...I gave her
"New Happy House" in exchange for this piece called, "Perfection". I saw this painting when she blogged about a new
series she was working on and I had to have it. The text,
"I suppose we all have delusions about perfection." really hit a chord with me. Now I just have to find the
"perfect" place for it. Thank you, Shari for your inspiring work!
"Perfection"by Shari Beaubien5" x 5" acrylic and collage on canvas Back in a couple of days with a blog about

I so love gargoyles. Yours is so cute.
Hi Linda...
Congrats on your new studio. The painting is gorgeous by the way. I am a big fan of art trades, I think they are a super idea for artists to be able to collect each others work.

Hi Linda! I just wanted to let you know there's an award for you over at my blog. But no rush. I understand you are unpacking and making your new house a home.
He is so cute and I love love that collage with the bird.
